Lhasa De Sela - Where do you go





Where do you go
When your tides get low
In the summer dress
Of your drunkenness

I go far from here
Where the silence sleeps
In the very deeps
Of the holy blue

And I dream of you
And I dream of you
Dream of you
Dream of you

What do you say
When the rotted day
Is around your feet
In the noisy street

And your eyes fall rain
From pain from pain
I say never again
Never again
Never again

Why do you wander
So light though falling
In the underwater calling

I skate like a bird
Drunk on a word
Almost in love
If I only knew

But the best will drive
Through me and you
Me and you
Me and you

Lhasa de Sela - My name

Lhasa de Sela - Meu amor meu amor (& lyrics)




Meu amor meu amor 
meu corpo em movimento 
minha voz à procura 
do seu próprio lamento. 

Meu limão de amargura meu punhal a escrever 
nós parámos o tempo não sabemos morrer 
e nascemos nascemos 
do nosso entristecer. 

Meu amor meu amor 
meu nó e sofrimento 
minha mó de ternura 
minha nau de tormento 

este mar não tem cura este céu não tem ar 
nós parámos o vento não sabemos nadar 
e morremos morremos 
devagar devagar. 

Lhasa de Sela - What Kind Of Heart

Lhasa De Sela - Island Song - 2003 - new





I had a dream last night
A fish on land
Gasping for breath
Just laughed
And sang this song
Is life like this for everyone
Is life like this for everyone

I picked him up
He had a human face
I carried him
To where the water was
A grey and still and dusty thing
A grey and still and dusty thing

I dropped him in
And he could breathe again
And then he grew
And he became a man
I knew that I would marry him
I knew that I would marry him

I had a dream last night
A fish on land
Gasping for breath
Just laughed
And sang this song
Is life like this for everyone
Is life like this for everyone?
